Trying to live your life with no regrets is a nice philosophy to have, but it isn’t always the easiest to carry out. Especially when it comes to cars. Cars can be a drain on your patience and your wallet. Or you sometimes (foolishly) think that you can find a better one somewhere else.
Last week, we asked you about the car that got away from you. The one that you think about every so often and you feel a pang of regret at not realizing how great it was while it was right there in front of you.
It’s a really crappy feeling, but hey, at least you aren’t alone in it. Plenty of people have gone through the same thing. I didn’t think these stories would gut-punch me as hard as they did. Be ready with some tissues nearby.
Here we go.

I, too, love the Pantera. I feel your pain.
